Dialogue Will Save Venezuela?

Venezuela, the Pope: bridges, dialogue and respect for the agreements

No mention of conversion to the Catholic Faith yet again

"I am convinced that the serious
problems of Venezuela can be resolved if there is a will to build
bridges, if you want to seriously talk and respect the agreements
reached." So Pope Francis said to his "beloved bishops of
Venezuela" in a letter to the local bishop through the nuncio, Monsignor
Aldo Giordano. A letter dated May 5 but only made public a few hours
ago in Caracas, on the day when thousands of women, "without men and
dressed in white", have called for the end of the violence that has
killed at least 40 people of which many were young, only from April 4 to
today.

Francis' heartfelt appeal
Following the Pope’s words of Sunday April 30, "I make a heartfelt
appeal to the government and all the components of the Venezuelan
society so that every further form of violence is avoided, human rights
are respected and negotiated solutions are sought to the humanitarian,
social, political and economic crises, which are exhausting the people"-
words expressed a few hours after his press conference on the plane coming from Egypt, Pope Francis, in
this letter to the bishops insists further - when every hope is silent -
on the way of meeting, of bridges and dialogue, to find a consensual
solution.

A voice out of the choir that of
Francis. Almost everyone, outside and inside Venezuela, in front of the
obstinacy and closure of Maduro's government and opposition parties,
seem to be resigned to the worst, that is to civil war, to the count of
the dead, to the inevitable final devastation.

Francis in his letter to the bishops declares himself close to them:
"I assure you that I am following with great concern the situation of
the beloved Venezuelan people in the face of the grave problems that
afflict it. I feel a deep sorrow for the confrontations and violence of
these days, which have caused numerous deaths and injuries, and which do
not help to solve the problems, but only cause more suffering and pain.
"

"Conscious of the difficulties you are experiencing" as an ecclesial
community, crushed between two blocks that broke every bridge and
contact between them, the Pope notes: "I know that you, dear brothers,
share the people's situation, that together with the priests,
Consecrated persons and lay faithful suffere from lack of food and
medicine, and some have suffered personal attacks and violent acts in
their churches."

The Pope expresses his solidarity to everyone and adds: "I also thank
you for the constant appeals to avoid any form of violence, to respect
the rights of citizens, to defend human dignity and fundamental rights, "because
like you, I am convinced that the serious problems of Venezuela can be
solved If there is a will to establish bridges, to dialogue seriously
and to comply with the agreements reached". I urge you to continue doing
all you need to make this difficult journey possible, believing that communion between you and your priests will give you light to find the right path. "Dear
Brothers, I encourage you not to let the children of Venezuela fall
into mistrust and despair because these are bad things that penetrate
the hearts of people when they see no prospect of the future"

No contact between government and opposition
The protagonists of the five-year-long Venezuelan conflict,
government and opposition, are at the farthest ends these days, keeping
busy at launching threats and accusations at each other. President N.
Maduro has further closed his position in a way that, according to many
including the local Catholic Church, is considered totalitarian. The
proposal, which the clear majority of analysts and observers think
senseless, of a constituent assembly to reform the constitution wanted
by its protector and sponsor Hugo Chávez, has definitively closed any
chance with the opposition.

These parties, responding to the Pope's appeal dating April 29,
wrote: "We are Venezuelans disappointed for the dialogue without
results"; Dialogue "in which the government's intent was always
propagandistic and non-substantive" making thus "lose power and prestige
to a valid instrument, in an unsuccessful attempt to demoralize public
opinion and to divide the coalition of opponents." The letter to the
Pope concludes: the Democratic Unity (Mud) Table stands united, without
exception, and "makes it clear to the Venezuelans and to the world that
the only dialogue that is accepted today in Venezuela is the dialogue
expressed through votes, Venezuela’s only way to overcome the crisis and
re-establish democracy today under seizure. In this, dear Father, there is one novelty: there are no divisions and dissensions at the Table for Democratic Unity."
For the opposition, Maduro is not a credible and legitimate
interlocutor: not only has he led the nation to the serious crisis that
has been going on for years, but he is the author of a self-coup that
has broken the constitutional order.

The tangled, uncertain and complex Venezuelan situation is clearly
outlined by Pope Francis on his way back to Italy from Cairo on April
29, during a flight press conference which also sums up the Vatican’s
impotence since the day the parties called the Pope in question. A call
however, seemingly lacking any serious and responsible intention,
perhaps for a tactical media use:

1) The apostolic office has already taken part, at the request of the
government and the opposition, to the mediation and dialogue efforts
carried out by Unasur's personalities (Union of the Nations of South
America). These efforts have not come to an end ... "they remained
there," said Francesco.
2) These efforts did not succeed because the proposals were not
accepted and / or shared, or were diluted with a "yes-yes ... but then a
no-no".
3) It turns out, said the Pope, that a request is now underway ("they
are insisting"), I think that those who are carrying out Unasur's
failed attempt. They are trying to relaunch the 'facilitación' and
seeking for a place.
4) If this initiative goes on, " I think that this must be with conditions now. Very clear conditions."
5) Part of the opposition does not want this. Interesting, the
opposition itself is divided and, on the other hand, it seems that the
conflicts are increasingly escalating.
6) The important thing is that there is something moving forward, and
I've been informed of this, but it's still very much in the air as
yet.
7) Everything that can be done for Venezuela must be done. And with the necessary guarantees.
8) Otherwise we are just playing "tin tin pirulero”, childish games that lead nowhere.

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

Vatican II = Heretical & Schismatic

Exposing Vatican II & New Mass, Fr. Villa

Archbishop Lefebvre

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
